    I do karate once a week (60 mins).
    I lift weights twice a week.
    On the other days I do push ups and squats or rest.

    ETA push ups are anything from 150-300, squats are with weights

    I do cardio, arms, and abs 4 times per week and add some legs in when I feel like it.
    cardio = elliptical followed by running
    Then on top of that, once a week I do water aerobics.

    I have a 3 day on, 1 day off split weights program.

    Start day 1 today:

    Day 1: Chest and back
    Day 2: Legs and abs
    Day 3: Shoulders and arms
    Rest- run/walk

    And then start from the start again. I weight train 6 days a week and go for a run/walk 2-4 times throughout the week, more when I can fit it in. I don't really enjoy cardio at all.

    I try to make it to spin 5-6 days a week and yoga 3 times a week. I will also throw in a swim or a day climbing or hiking if time permits, which it hasn't lately!

    I really want to incorporate weights but am totally intimidated. I probably need to get a few more elbees off first, anyway.

    At the moment I'm training for a Half Marathon so currently my week stands like this:

    Mon - Short run (5mile)
    Tues - Lifting (literally just started last week to compliment the cardio!)
    Wed - Short run (5mile)
    Thurs - Lots of walking with school run and Lifting
    Fri - Shorter run (3-4mile)
    Sat/Sun - Long distance run currently on 7miles but going up by .5miles a week
    Sat/Sun - Full day off

    My weekend varies but I'll always have one full day off exercise (excluding walking), and during the week sometimes my days will change around so I'm on more of a 2week schedule I suppose! :)

    I basically rotate through something like this:

    * Lift Day: Stronglifts 5x5
    * Cardio Day: run, bike, swim, hill hike, walk. Distance and pace will depend on how much time I have that day and my energy levels. If I'm in need of a rest day, this is when I'll do it by getting active-rest with just a walk or very easy and shorter bike ride or run.
    * HIIT Day: Fartlek-run, kickboxing, spinning class, running up/down stadium stairs and doing sprints on the track, or walking up/down stairs or hills with a weighted pack at alternating fast/slower speeds, and maybe some plyometrics
    * Cardio Day: see above
    * Lift Day: see above
    and then it starts over again.

    Actually, just started this particular routine as I was having a tendency to get very fatigued from overtraining by doing too many HIIT-style days a week. And I like the variety.

    If it works out, I'll occasionally throw a yoga session in there as I need to make myself do some good stretching more often.

    MWF - weights (heavy)
    T,TH - interval runs on treadmill (2-3 miles)
    Sat - OFF
    Sun - cross country trail long run for mileage (marathon training) - I tend to get overuse injuries with too much training, so I do best with only one long run per week, with a couple of days of short intervals thrown in for speed.
